Arieh Sharon

Israeli architect

In the history of building, Arieh Sharon is one of the names that keeps returning.

The record lists Arieh Sharon as Israeli architect.

Arieh Sharon was born at Jarosław in 1900. His recorded nationality is Israel. He trained at Bauhaus.

Modernism rejected ornament and historical style, arguing that a building should express its structure and its function - a claim contested ever since.

He is recorded as architect.

His best-known building is Sharon Plan. An architect is judged by how a building is used a century after the drawings.

Recognition followed: Israel Prize.

That the work was built in Israel shaped it: climate, materials, planning law and who holds the budget all decide what can actually be built.

Arieh Sharon died in 1984, aged 84. The buildings remain, still in use by people who never knew the name - which is the particular afterlife architecture offers.
